Original BMW Filler Pipe for E39 Washer Fluid Tank, BMW 525i, 528i, 530i, 540i, and M5 (1997–2003)

Running from the engine bay down to the washer fluid tank, this Original BMW filler pipe is the plastic neck you pour windshield washer fluid into on the 1997–2003 BMW E39 525i, 528i, 530i, 540i, and M5. BMW names it simply the filler pipe and rates it at 92 grams. The pipe is made in France and sold as a single piece. Age is its main enemy, and these plastic necks are often found cracked. A washer filler neck gives you an easy fill point up top while the reservoir itself sits lower in the car.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

The current number entered production in November 2000 and replaced the earlier 61-60-8-364-199. BMW rates the change as exchangeable retrospectively, meaning this newer pipe also fits cars built before that date. BMW's parts data places it across the E39 5 Series, covering the M52 and M54 six-cylinder cars, the M62 V8 540i, and the S62-powered M5.
